Attack of the Legion

The gate's almost ready to fall,
still no one answers the call.
Army gone, just me alone,
'gainst the tides i am so prone.

Head is spinning stomach churning,
everything it tastes like burning,
bitter bile spewing forth,
hear the screaming of the earth.

Laughing legions tearing at me,
ones these eyes just can not see,
ah but i could hear them well,
screaming from the depths of hell.

Body shaking like a seizure,
head is splitting like a fissure,
drink to try and block it out,
fight with geologic shout.

Lights dancing before my eyes,
demons screaming horrid lies!
They try to press me to the gate,
"unlocking it is your fate,
already you are far too late,
your hand is all it really takes!"

But I refuse and how they rail,
with unearthly warbling wails,
there's no choice I cannot fail,
our universe so very frail.

They are not demons per say,
more like cosmic eth'ral fae,
that want to see us in our graves,
but we will survive the fray.

Ponderance of the Fall

Golden gate on violet wall,

What will happen if you fall?

Why do I want to find out?

Am I just a selfish lout?

Is it curiosity

Or does a deeper meaning seethe?

What would I be setting free?

Some thing from which we all would flee?

Behind the bricks of glowing black,

Something strange is held far back,

Knowledge of it's nature slack,

But the wall it wants to crack.

I could open wide the door,

Just to find out what its for,

Violate my only chore,

Just because I'm wanting more.

But deep down I know I can't,

Even though I hear the chant,

Of a loud gibbering rant,

Breathing with a heavy pant.

I may wonder, its my right.

I am an eternal might,

Gate and wall and wolf and light,

With an equal does of night.

I will go on wondering,

About all and everything,

that's just what I do you see,

Just be glad you are not me.

What a cup that I must bear,

Always at my mind they tear,

Always trying hard to scare,

I will just no longer care.
